bio

Aaron “Frosty” Foster, a 26-year-old graduate of East Tennessee State University, has released his first single, off his upcoming Bee Hive Records gospel release.

Foster has always been interested in bluegrass music. He spent much of his youth traveling to and from bluegrass festivals in New England, and was only ten years old when he asked for a guitar for Christmas. His grandparents, George and Etta Crawford, helped make sure his wish came true by asking their friend Eric Gibson (of current bluegrass supergroup The Gibson Brothers) to help. A trip to Gibson’s former place of work, Dick’s Country Store and Music Oasis in Churubusco, New York, ended with the purchase of an Alvarez guitar.

Like many bluegrassers, Foster’s first music lessons were from his father, and he was soon participating in the music scene in New England. After graduating high school in 2010 he found his way to ETSU to study Business Management. After enrolling in a few bluegrass courses (which he intended to be electives), Foster became increasingly involved in the playing and jamming on campus and in the local area. He ultimately decided to focus on his music full time, and earn a minor in Bluegrass, Old Time, & Country Music Studies to pair with a Interdisciplinary Studies degree.

Originally from Wells Bridge, New York, Foster graduated from ETSU in December of 2017. He spent two years holding down the guitar spot in the ETSU Bluegrass Pride Band, and had been a part of two Bluegrass Today Top 20 singles with the group. He is currently earning a living by teaching music lessons and performing with the band Dreamcatcher.
